Its Monday, I’m pretty sure Venus is in retrograde, and that bitch Karen is back again. Crossfit is such a mental game for me – I’m often convinced I can’t make it through he workout before I start. Time to work on that – so if you hear me expressing and doubts, you have permission to kick me in the ass.

great article, mary, and so true! the open certainly exercised my mind, not just my body. i experimented with different approaches, from visualization to complete denial of the workout up until it was time to do it. i can’t say that one approach worked better than the other, but trying different approaches helped me figure some things out about myself – and survive the challenge of the last five weeks. it seems logical that our brains respond favorably to “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movements” just like our bodies.

wall balls suck. karen is a bitch. get in there and kick her ass, 150 times.

Molly get out of your head be like fire steve and just say that it sounds like fun.Or you can be like neal maddox and just say bring it !!!! From now on i am going to try to use both of them.there is no need to be so serious that you can’t have fun to!!!!!
